The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the November 11 off-cycle election in Imo State, Samuel Anyanwu, has vowed to explore all means to remove Governor Hope Uzodinma.
Anyanwu said he would recover his stolen mandate because the November 11 election in the state was a rape of democracy.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists in Owerri, the state capital.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Uzodinma the winner of the election, while Anywanwu was second and Achonu third in the just-concluded governorship election.
However, Anyanwu said: “The Imolites have been injured. Our collective patrimony has been withered. Our cries and wounds know no bounds. I feel your pain. My heart bleeds for the freedom of our people from the wicked governance of the state. The wicked must not go unpunished.
“Injury to one is injury to all. It will be recalled that the insecurity today in the South East is exported from Imo State to other Eastern States through the use of non-state actors for elections.
